CAUTION

■General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment andreduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that will result in deathor serious injury to you, your occupants or others.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that otherdrivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone orreading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,your occupants or others.

■When children are in the vehicle

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children tohave or use the key.

When left unattended, children may be able to start the vehicle or shift thevehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure them-selves by playing with the cigarette lighter, the windows, the moon roof, orother features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely coldtemperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

■Dispose of the hybrid battery (traction battery)

If your vehicle is disposed of without the hybrid battery having beenremoved, there is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts,cables and their connectors are touched. In the event of that your vehiclemust be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of your Toyotadealer or a qualified service shop. If the hybrid battery is not disposed ofproperly, they may cause electric shock that can result in death or seriousinjury.

1-1. Hybrid system

Hybrid system

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from

conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the char-

acteristics of your vehicle, and operate with care.

The hybrid system combines a gasoline engine and an electric

motor (traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving

fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions.

Gasoline engineElectric motor (Traction motor)

■Regenerative braking

The motor generator converts kinetic energy to electric energy when:

●The accelerator pedal is released.

●The brake pedal is depressed with the shift lever in “D” or “B”.

■Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop

The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stopautomatically in the following conditions:

●The gasoline engine is warming up.

●The hybrid battery (traction battery) is being charged.

●The hybrid battery (traction battery) temperature is low or high.

■ When stopped/during take-off

The gasoline engine stops when the vehicle is stopped. Duringtake-off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the vehicle. Atslow speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engineis stopped and the motor is used.

■ During normal driving

The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor(traction motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery) asnecessary.

■ When accelerating sharply

The power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is added viaelectric motor (traction motor) to that of the gasoline engine.

■ When braking (Regenerative brake)

The electric motor (traction motor) charges the hybrid battery(traction battery).

23

_U_(OM47614U)

1-1. Hybrid system

PRI

■Charging the battery

●As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), thebattery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, ifthe vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery will slowly dis-charge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once everyseveral months for at least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16 km). If the hybridbattery becomes fully discharged and you are unable to jump-start thevehicle with the 12 volt battery, contact your Toyota dealer.

● If the shift lever is in “N”, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not becharged. When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle with the shiftlever in “D” to avoid discharging the battery.

■After the 12 volt battery has discharged or has been changed orremoved

The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is running on the hybridbattery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact your Toyotadealer.

●Always wear a seat belt properly.

●Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat beltfor more than one person at the same time, including children.

●Children should be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

●Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-ing position. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sittingup straight and well back in the seats.

●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

●Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■Child restraint lock function belt precaution

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If thebelt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it will not be possible to pull thebelt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be usedto cut the belt.

■Seat belt damage and wear

●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate or buckle to bejammed in the door.

● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and looseparts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seatbelts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

●Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted. If theseat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyotadealer.

■Seat belt damage and wear

●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of a seatbelt. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer. Inap-propriate handling of the pretensioner may cause it to activate or operateimproperly and may cause death or serious injury.

■Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of yourshoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling offyour shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in anaccident and cause death or serious injuries in a collision. (P. 65)

■Seat belt pretensioners

●Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensorfrom detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the seat beltpretensioner for the front passenger’s seat may not activate in the event ofa collision.

● If the pretensioner has activated, the seat belt becomes locked: it cannotbe further extended, nor will it return to the stowed position. The seat beltcannot be used again and must be replaced at your Toyota dealer.

■Using a seat belt extender

●Do not wear the seat belt extender, if you can fasten the seat belt withoutthe extender.

●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system,because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas-ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

SRS airbags

The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain

types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the

occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the

risk of death or serious injury.

Front airbagsDriver airbag/front passenger airbagCan help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas-senger from impact with interior components.

PRIUS

Your vehicle is equipped with “ADVANCED AIRBAGS” designedbased on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The air-bag system controls airbag deployment power for the driver and frontpassenger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seat’sposition sensor etc. The front passenger’s airbag system consists ofthe front passenger occupant classification sensor etc.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. TheSRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. Theairbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbagsensor.

In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys-tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflatorsquickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motionof the occupants.

■ If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying(inflating) SRS airbag.

●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)as well as the seats, and parts of the front and rear pillars and roof siderail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

●The windshield may crack.

91

_U_(OM47614U)


PRI

■Operating conditions (front airbags)

●The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the frontal impact isabove the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 15mph (25 km/h) collision, when the vehicle impacts straight into a fixedbarrier that does not move or deform.

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehiclestrikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move ordeform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g.a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, thebed of a truck, etc.).

● It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of thevehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air-bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.

●The SRS front passenger airbags will not activate, if there is no passen-ger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger air-bag may deploy, if heavy luggage is put, even if the seat is unoccupied.(P. 101)

■Operating conditions (side and curtain shield airbags [if equipped])

●The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflatewhen the passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact fromthe side.

●The SRS front side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate, if thereis no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the frontside airbag on the passenger seat may deploy, if heavy luggage is put,even if the seat is unoccupied. (P. 101)

■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), otherthan a collision

The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to theunderside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (front airbags)

The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle isinvolved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes suffi-cient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front air-bags may occur.

●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement orhard surface

●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

●Landing hard or vehicle falling

●Collision from the side

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (side and curtain shield airbags [if equipped])

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if thevehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a colli-sion to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.

The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are generally not designedto inflate if the vehicle is involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over,or if it is involved in a low-speed side collision.

■SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags. Failure to do somay cause death or serious injury.

●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat beltsproperly.The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.

●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can causedeath or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:

Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) ofinflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag providesyou with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the cen-ter of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching thepedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with thedriver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seatsomewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see theroad, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise theseat if your vehicle has that feature.

• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while stillmaintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of theinstrument panel controls.

CAUTION


●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, andcan cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is veryclose to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sitsupright.

● Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed orseriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too smallto use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys-tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed inthe rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats arethe safest for infants and children. (P. 107)

● If the seat belt extender has been con-nected to the driver’s seat belt bucklebut the seat belt extender has not alsobeen fastened to the latch plate of thedriver’s seat belt, the SRS driver’s air-bag system will judge that the driver iswearing the seat belt even though theseat belt has not been connected. Inthis case, the driver’s airbag may notactivate correctly in a collision, resultingin death or serious injury in the event ofcollision. Be sure to wear the seat beltwith the seat belt extender.

●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS sideairbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags.

●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-bag components shown on P. 90. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags tomalfunction.

●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open adoor or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to doso. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheelpad and front pillar garnish, are damaged or cracked, have them replacedby your Toyota dealer.

●Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensorfrom detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the SRS frontpassenger airbag may not deploy in the event of a collision.

●Do not attach anything to or lean any-thing against areas such as the dash-board, steering wheel pad. These itemscan become projectiles when SRSdriver and front passenger airbagsdeploy.

●Do not attach anything to areas such asthe door, windshield glass, side doorglass, front and rear pillars, roof siderail or assist grip.

Reconnect the seat beltextender after making sure the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light is illuminated.If you use the seat belt extender while the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light isilluminated, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front pas-senger side may not activate correctly, which could cause death or seriousinjury in the event of collision.

●Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat.

●Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands orfeet on the front passenger seatback from the rear passenger seat.

●Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet orpress on the seatback with their legs.

●Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

●Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rearseat. This may cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light to be illuminated,which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event ofa severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seat-back to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the frontpassenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving.Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of theseat belt system.

Child restraint systems

Points to remember

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat ismuch safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.

● Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and isappropriate to the age and size of the child.

● For installation details, follow the instructions provided with thechild restraint system. General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 111)

Types of child restraints

Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 typesaccording to the age and size of the child.

Rear facing Infant seat/convertible seat

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop-

erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder

belt.

The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the

use of child restraint systems.

■Selecting an appropriate child restraint system

●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the childbecomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

● If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rearseat and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 64)

■Child restraint precautions

●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a childmust be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint systemdepending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms isnot a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can becrushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.

●Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seatthan in the front seat.

●Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passengerseat even if “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event of anaccident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag cancause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraintsystem is installed on the front passenger seat.

●A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system thatrequires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seatsince there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat.Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat asfar back as possible even if “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated,because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speedand force. Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury to the child.

●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint systemon the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint systemwith the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will notsecurely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri-ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of collision.

CAUTION

■Child restraint precautions

●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her bodyagainst the door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof siderail from which the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if thechild is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side air-bags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause deathor serious injury to the child.

●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided bythe child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. Ifit is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the childin the event of a sudden stop or accident.

■Child restraint lock function belt precaution

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If thebelt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it will not be possible to pull thebelt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be usedto cut the belt.

■When the child restraint system is not in use

●Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it isnot in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart-ment.

● If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from thevehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent itfrom injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

■Driving in the rain

●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, thewindows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.

●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will beespecially slippery.

●Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the roadsurface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

■Breaking in your new Toyota

To extend the life of the vehicle, the following precautions are recommendedto observe:

●For the first 180 miles (300 km):Avoid sudden stops.

●For the first 621 miles (1000 km):

• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.• Avoid sudden acceleration.• Do not drive continuously in the low gears.• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

■Operating your vehicle in a foreign country

Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availabilityof the correct fuel. (P. 462)

■For efficient use

●Put the shift lever into “D” when drivingIn the “N” position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot begenerated.The hybrid battery (traction battery) will be discharged requiring unnec-essary engine power to recharge.

●Drive your vehicle smoothlyAvoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Gradual acceleration anddeceleration will make more effective use of the traction motor withouthaving to use gasoline engine power.

123

_U_(OM47614U)

PRIUS

CAUTION

■When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the hybrid sys-tem operating. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

■When driving the vehicle

●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.

• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brakepedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accidentthat could result in death or serious injury.

• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.

• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving thevehicle only slightly, allowing you to depress the brake and acceleratorpedals properly.

• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brakepedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-ing in an accident.

●The driver should pay attention to pedestrians when the vehicle is pow-ered only by the electric motor (traction motor). Because there is no hybridsystem sounds, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle’s movement.

●Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. this maycause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.

●Do not let the vehicle roll backwards while the shift lever is in a drivingposition, or roll forward while the shift lever is in “R”.Doing so may cause the hybrid system not to operate or lead to poorbrake and steering performance, resulting in an accident or damage to thevehicle.

● If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows andcheck that the back door is closed. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehi-cle can cause driver drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or aserious health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealerimmediately.

CAUTION

■When driving the vehicle

●Do not under any circumstances shift the shift lever to “R”, “N” or push the“P” position switch while the vehicle is moving.Doing so can cause significant damage to the transmission and may resultin a loss of vehicle control.

●Do not shift the shift lever to “N” while the vehicle is moving.Doing so may cause the engine brake not to operate properly and lead toan accident.

●Do not turn the hybrid system off while driving. The power steering and brake actuator will not operate properly if thehybrid system is not operating.

●Use engine braking (“B”) to maintain a safe speed when driving down asteep hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and loseeffectiveness. (P. 138)

●When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parkingbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causingan accident.

●Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside oroutside rear view mirrors while driving.Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidentsthat may result in death or serious injury.

●Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their bod-ies are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.

●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit per-mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has highspeed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tirefailure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealerto determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high-speed capabilitytires or not before driving at such speeds.

CAUTION

■When driving on slippery road surfaces

●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage andreduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.

●Sudden changes in engine speed, such as engine braking caused by up-shifting or down-shifting, may cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in anaccident.

●After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to makesure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may preventthe brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wetand not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting inan accident.

■When shifting the shift lever

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that maycause an accident and result in death or serious injury.

■When the vehicle is stopped

●Do not race the hybrid system.If the vehicle is in any gear other than “P” or “N” the vehicle may acceler-ate suddenly and unexpectedly, and may cause an accident.

●Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system on for a long time. If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open spaceand check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

●Always keep a foot on the brake pedal while the hybrid system is operatingto prevent an accident caused by the vehicle moving.

CAUTION

■When the vehicle is parked

●Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans inthe vehicle when it is in the sun.Failure to do so may result in the following:

• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to afire.

• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses andplastic material of eye glasses to deform or crack.

• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over theinterior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehi-cle’s electrical components.

●Always apply the parking brake, push the “P” position switch, stop thehybrid system and lock the vehicle.Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the hybrid system is operating.

●Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the hybrid system is operating orimmediately after turning the hybrid system off. Doing so may cause burns.

●Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with snow build up, orwhere it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while thehybrid system is operating, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehi-cle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

■Exhaust gases

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO) that is colorless andodorless. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health haz-ard.

● If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the hybrid system. In aclosed area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect and enter thevehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

●The exhaust should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or crackcause by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sureto have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer. Failureto do so may allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle, resulting in death ora serious health hazard.

■When taking a nap in the vehicle

Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, you may accidentally move theshift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, which could cause an accidentor fire due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parkedin a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle,leading to death or a serious health hazard.

■When braking the vehicle

●When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously. Braking distanceincreases when the brakes are wet, and may cause one side of the vehicleto brake differently than the other side. Also the parking brake may notsecurely hold the vehicle.

● If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow othervehicles closely and avoid downhill or sharp turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible, but it will require more force on thepedal than usual. Braking distance may also increase.

●Do not pump the brake pedal if the hybrid system stalls. Each push on the pedal uses up your reserved brake fluid pressure.

●The brake system consists of 3 individual hydraulic systems: if one of thesystems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedalshould be depressed more firmly than usual and braking distancebecomes longer.Do not drive your vehicle with only a single brake system. Have yourbrakes fixed immediately.

■When parking the vehicle

Always push the “P” position switch. Failure to do so may cause the vehicleto move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal isaccidentally depressed.

■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts

●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for along time. Doing so may damage the power steering motor.

●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoiddamaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.

■ If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indica-tors)

Have your Toyota dealer check and replace the brake pads as soon as pos-sible.The rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when needed.

Front brake only: Moderate levels of the brake pad and disc wear allowenhanced front braking power. As a result, the discs may wear more quicklythan conventional brake discs. Therefore, when replacing the brake pads,Toyota recommends that you also have the thickness of the discs measured.It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake padsand/or that of the brake discs are exceeded.

Driving assist systems

When the Enhanced VSC is operating

If the vehicle is in danger of slip-ping or the front wheels spin, theindicator flashes to indicate thatthe Enhanced VSC have beenengaged.

A buzzer (intermittent) sounds toindicate that Enhanced VSC isoperating.

The slip indicator light flashes aswell when ABS is operating.

To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-

tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.

Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and

should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.

■ ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or ifthe brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.

■ Brake Assist

Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal isdepressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.

■ Enhanced VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (If equipped)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turningon slippery road surfaces.

■ EPS (Electric Power Steering)

Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turnthe steering wheel.

■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist and EnhancedVSC

●A sound may be heard from the hybrid system compartment when thehybrid system is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. Thissound does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of thesesystems.

●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems areoperating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.

• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.

■Reduced effectiveness of EPS

The effectiveness of EPS is reduced to prevent the system from overheatingwhen there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. Thesteering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain fromexcessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system OFF.The system should return to normal within 10 minutes.

Cargo and luggage

Capacity and distribution

Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.

(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) — (Total weight of occupants)

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit—

(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants andcargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehi-cle’s placard.

(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengersthat will be riding in your vehicle.

(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers fromXXX kg or XXX lbs.

(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo andluggage load capacity.

For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there willbe five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-able cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5150) = 650 lbs.)

(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo beingloaded on the vehicle.

That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and lug-gage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

Take notice of the following information about storage precau-

tions, cargo capacity and load.

● Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment when-ever possible. Be sure all items are secured in place.

● Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as farforward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.

● For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

169

_U_(OM47614U)


PRI

(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer willbe transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determinehow this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacityof your vehicle. (P. 172)

Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle.Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing.

Example on your vehicle

Cargo capacityTotal load capacity

When 2 people with the combined weight of 366 lb. (166 kg) areriding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity of 810 lb. (365kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will beas follows:

810 lb. — 366 lb. = 444 lb. (365 kg — 166 kg = 199 kg)

In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of388 lb. (176 kg) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will bereduced as follows:

444 lb. — 388 lb. = 56 lb. (199 kg — 176 kg = 23 kg)

As shown in the above example, if the number of occupantsincreases, the cargo and luggage load equaling the combined weightof the occupants who got on later, by an amount. In other words, if anincrease in the number of occupants causes an excess of the totalload capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggageload), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.

CAUTION

■Storage precautions

●Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than theseatbacks.Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in thevehicle during sudden braking or in an accident.

●Do not place anything on the luggage cover. Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in thevehicle during sudden braking or in an accident.

●Do not drive with objects on top of the instrument panel. They may interfere with the driver’s field of view or move during sharpacceleration or turning, thus impairing the driver’s control of the vehi-cle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants.

●Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift andinjure someone during an accident or sudden braking.

●Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is notdesigned for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seatbelts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to sufferdeath or serious injury, in the event of sudden braking or a collision.

■Weight of the load

● Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking con-trol resulting in an accident which may cause death or serious injury.

●Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicleweight rating.

●Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is lessthan the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improperloading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control whichmay cause death or serious injury.

■MP3 and WMA files

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.

Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by usingMP3 compression.

WMA (Windows Media TMAudio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.

This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3format.

There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards and to the media/formatsrecorded by them that can be used.

●MP3 file compatibility

• Compatible standardsMP3 (MPEG1 LAYER3, MPEG2 LSF LAYER3)

• Compatible sampling frequenciesMPEG1 LAYER3: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)MPEG2 LSF LAYER3: 16, 22.05, 24 (kHz)

• Compatible bit ratesMPEG1 LAYER3: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 (kbps)

• MPEG2 LSF LAYER3: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160 (kbps)*: Compatible with VBR

• Compatible channel modes: stereo, joint stereo, dual channel andmonaural

●WMA file compatibility

• Compatible standardsWMA Ver. 7, 8, 9

• Compatible sampling frequencies32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Compatible bit ratesVer. 7, 8: CBR 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192 (kbps)Ver. 9: CBR 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)*: Only compatible with 2-channel playback

●Compatible media

Media that can be used for MP3 and WMA playback are CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

Playback in some instances may not be possible, depending on the statusof the CD-R or CD-RW. Playback may not be possible or the audio mayjump if the disc is scratched or marked with fingerprints.

●Compatible disc formats

The following disc formats can be used.

• Disc formats: CD-ROM Mode 1 and Mode 2CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2

• File formats: ISO9660 level 1, level 2, (Romeo, Joliet)MP3 and WMA files written in any format other than those listed above may not play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not be displayed correctly.

Items related to standards and limitations are as follows:

• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels• Maximum length of folder names/file names: 32 characters• Maximum number of folders: 192 (including the root)• Maximum number of files per disc: 255

255

_U_(OM47614U)


PRI

●File names

The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are thosewith the extension .mp3 or .wma.

●Multi-sessions

As the audio system is compatible with multi-sessions, it is possible to playdiscs that contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session canbe played.

● ID3 and WMA tags

ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the tracktitle and artist name, etc.

The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags.(The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)

WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record thetrack title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.

●MP3 and WMA playback

When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the discare first checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA fileis played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we recommend youdo not write in any files other than MP3 or WMA files or create any unnec-essary folders.

Discs that contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format datacannot be played.

●Extensions

If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 andWMA files, they will be mistakenly recognized and played as MP3 andWMA files. This may result in large amounts of interference and damageto the speakers.

●Playback

• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances, depending on the characteristics of the disc.

• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encod-ing and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result. In some cases, playback may not be possible at all.

• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may take more time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may not be possible at all.

• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.

■CD-R and CD-RW discs

●CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been subject to the “finalizing process”(a process that allows discs to be played on a conventional CD player)cannot be played.

● It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded on a musicCD recorder or a personal computer because of disc characteristics,scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of theunit.

● It may not be possible to play discs recorded on a personal computerdepending on the application settings and the environment. Record withthe correct format. (For details, contact the appropriate application manu-facturers of the applications.)

PRI

●CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by direct exposure to sunlight,high temperatures or other storage conditions. The unit may be unable toplay damaged discs.

● If you insert a CD-RW disc into the MP3/WMA player, playback will beginmore slowly than with a conventional CD or CD-R disc.

●Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played using the DDCD (DoubleDensity CD) system.

■When to replace your vehicle’s tires

Tires should be replaced if:●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to

expose the fabric or bulges indicating internal damage●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the

size or location of a cut or other damageIf you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.

■Replacing tires and wheels

If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is notregistered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. Afterdriving for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light comes onafter blinking for 1 minute to indicate a system malfunction.

■Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician evenif they have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.

■ If the tread wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) on snow tires

The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.■Maximum load of tire

Check that the maximum load of the replaced tire is greater than 1/2 ofthe Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or therear axle, whichever is greater.As for the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum coldtire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire, and as for theGross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR), see the Certification Label.

■Tire types

1 Summer tiresSummer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highwaydriving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the sametraction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate fordriving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-coveredroads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. Wheninstalling snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.

2 All season tiresAll season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and tobe adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for useyear round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate tractionperformance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also,all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performancecompared with summer tires in highway driving.

3 Snow tiresFor driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend usingsnow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con-struction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since yourvehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snowtires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires withoutfirst checking local regulations for possible restriction. Snow tiresshould be installed on all wheels. (P. 173)

CAUTION

■Replacing light bulbs

●Turn off the headlights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediatelyafter turning off the headlights. The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.

●Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. Hold thebulb by the plastic or metal portion.If the bulb is scratched or dropped it may blow out or crack.

●Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failing to do somay result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. Thismay damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.

●Do not take apart or repair the low beam discharge headlight bulbs, con-nectors, power supply circuits, or related components.Doing so could result in electric shock and death or serious injury.

■High-intensity discharge (HID) headlights

●Contact your Toyota dealer before replacing high-intensity dischargeheadlights (including light bulbs).

●Do not touch the high-intensity discharge headlight’s high voltage socketwhen the headlights are turned on. An extremely high voltage of 20000Vwill be discharged and could result in death or serious injury by electricshock.

■To prevent damage or fire

Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

If your vehicle needs to be towed

Before towing

The following may indicate a problem with your transmission. Contactyour Toyota dealer before towing.

● The hybrid system is operating, but the vehicle will not move.

● The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.

Emergency towing

If a tow truck is not available, in an emergency your vehicle may betemporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergencytowing eyelet. This should only attempted on hard, surfaced roads forshort distances below 18 mph (30km/h).A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. Thevehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be ingood condition.

If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by

your Toyota dealer or a commercial towing service, using a lift-type

truck or a flat bed truck.

Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/pro-

vincial and local laws.

If towing from the front, the vehicle’s rear wheel and axles must be in

good condition. (P. 417)

If they are damaged, use a towing dolly or flat bed truck.

Event data recorder

In a crash or a near car crash event

The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or anear car crash event, this device may record some or all of the follow-ing information:

● Gasoline engine speed

● Whether the brake pedal was applied or not

● Vehicle speed

● To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed

● Position of the transmission shift lever

● Whether the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not

● Driver’s seat position

● SRS airbag deployment data

● SRS airbag system diagnostic data

■Maintenance of the tires

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by thevehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressurelabel (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ-ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflationpressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine theproper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tirepressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) thatilluminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) whenone or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi-nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, andinflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and mayaffect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility tomaintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached thelevel to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tirepressure warning light).

CAUTION

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warningsystem) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operat-ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi-cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressurewarning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale willflash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups aslong as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi-nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressureas intended.TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari-ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tiresor wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warningsystem) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres-sure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or moretires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) tocontinue to function properly.

Fuel information

■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline

To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening thatonly accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

■ If your engine knocks

●Consult your Toyota dealer.

●You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

■Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gas-oline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand ofgasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

■Gasoline quality standards

●Automotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developeda specification for fuel quality called World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)that is expected to be applied worldwide.

●The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emis-sion levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted.

●The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets,and customer satisfaction through better performance.

■Toyota recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

●Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additivesto avoid build-up of engine deposits.

●All gasoline sold in the US contains detergent additives to clean and/orkeep clean intake systems.

Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use

of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result

in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specificationsof ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.

Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxy-genates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available inmany areas.

Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriatelyblended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellentvehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.

■Toyota does not recommend blended gasoline

●Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygen-ate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE.

● If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating nolower than 87.

●Toyota DOES NOT recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

■Toyota does not recommend gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

Toyota DOES NOT recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. Iffuel containing MMT is used, your emission control system may beadversely affected.

■Notice on fuel quality

●Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will bedamaged.

●Do not use leaded gasoline.Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalyticconverters causing the emission control system to malfunction.

●Do not use gasohol other than that stated here.Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performanceproblems.

●Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than thatstated here will cause persistent heavy knocking.At worst, this will lead to engine damage.

■Fuel-related poor driveability

If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poorhot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of thattype of fuel.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading

This information has been prepared in accordance with regulationsissued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of theU.S. Department of Transportation.It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyotavehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have asyou read this information.

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal SafetyRequirements in addition to these grades. Quality grades can befound where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulderand maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

477

_U_(OM47614U)

6-1. Specifications

PRI

■ Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wearrate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-fied government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditionsof their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm dueto variations in driving habits, service practices and differences inroad characteristics and climate.

■ Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement asmeasured under controlled conditions on specified governmenttest surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn-ing) traction.

■ Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, represent-ing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability todissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-fied indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire todegenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can leadto sudden tire failure.

The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passen-ger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dard No. 109.

Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
